There is plenty to do in Pretoria for all ages. Pretoria Zoo has 210 acres of land where you can watch animals roam around, such as rhinos, gorillas and hippos. Another great place to visit is the Zeppelin Craft Brewery where you can sit in a World War Two themed bar and try some of their 80 different brews, many from their on-site brewery. If you are looking to get outdoors and see some history, then you should go to the Tswaing Meteorite Crater, where 200,000 years ago a massive rock hit the earth.
Pretoria has plenty of amazing restaurants to try out. La Pentola is a very popular restaurant that has French, Italian and Mediterranean roots which have been merged with South African Flavours, to create some unique dishes. Hemingway’s Restaurant & Wine Cellar is found in the luxurious Leriba Hotel, which hosts an a la carte fine dining menu using local fresh produce. Another great restaurant to note is Crawdaddy’s where a diverse menu is served out in generous portions. Here you can get steaks, seafood, chowders, and curries.
Universities
